Apparently, according to the article at least, she and her husband wanted to watch ~~The Sopranos~~ Top Chef season 20, they couldn't figure out how to get Hulu+Live to work, so they ended up buying the Sopranos on iTunes.

For a brief time I used Netflix, I was not impressed with the fluctuations of encoding/streaming quality.(yep, I know it's early days.) Fast forward to this year, I visited my friend's place to have a get together, one pick something to watch and yet with gigabit fibre internet it still looks shit and pixelated until it "catches up".

I'd buy downloads instead cause I can zoom around the show without worrying the quality.
